I've finally broke the top 100 again. Ah, for the days when I had a transformer ranked at ~25

Hey, AB, are you really sure that you want your Anarchist Bunny to face Pod Racer again? Considering that Pod Racer's got a rocket launcher now...

Post by **Ghost Rider** » 2003-07-09 08:55am

Eh dropped off a bit(was 8th...decided to just play it lightly...now 26-27 by my calcs).

Still trying to see is there any real rhyme or reason(I've destroyed better bots...yet got butt handed to me by newbies, with my best character(Speed 2, Firepower 1, Avoid 3...avoiding Level 1 because honestly *2 the amount to spend of healing can suck if you lose hard)

Has anyone else seen this type of weirdness.

Crayz9000 · Post by **Crayz9000** » 2003-07-09 11:26am

Pod Racer is still level 0 for some reason. I think you have to satisfy two conditions to pass level 1: have >10,000 points AND rank 3 in some ability.

Post by **Ghost Rider** » 2003-07-09 11:31am

For one character I did satisfy Level 1...brought him down because it costs twice as much to heal and no real improvement(that and you can only fight Level 1 in the arena...which are very scant few)...I'll raise him when I can raise a couple stats...which means a huge leap in XP needed...but eh.

Crayz9000 · Post by **Crayz9000** » 2003-07-09 11:33am

I'm not too worried about money, since I've got plenty of it (a rocket launcher costs 10,000... and I was able to afford that...)

My only concern about level 1 is not being able to find opponents...

Post by **Ghost Rider** » 2003-07-09 11:38am

I'm stingy

(I have around 20K...but I looked at double costs and went erk)

But yeah it's the problem of not finding people to fight is why I downgraded a level.

Looks like I've got a lot of catching up to do. My bots are still at 3000 exp.

Have a very nice day.

I go on vacation and I fall drasticly behind everyone, all my bots are in the 2000-2500 range.

Oh well, strife rules, and when it comes down to it, thats what matters.

What the?

That last attack Airburst got hit with put him at 72%, yet he's in stasis lock?

I got that couple time...hell I've won battles clean sweep and gotten crap for points.

Sometimes the system goes wonky

Ah shit, and now I'm going to be missing 22 days, I'll never catch up(like I ever would of anyways)

Cool, I'm going to try this.

EDIT: Created a Decepticon jet named Nachtschlaggerät. Going to go try and pit him against some Autobrats in the Arena now... hopefully I'll turn out victorious. Next, I'll try making a tank.

Say, do we all have a clan there?

The Clan function is not enabled yet.

Ah, alright...

Just made a tank TF named Mörserspritzring. Whee!

EDIT: 30 minutes before battles? Ack.

EDIT AGAIN: Won both battles, both of which were against opponents better armored, armed than my guys, and both with better stats. Schlag took a pretty bad beating, but Spritz pulled through with minimal damage. Rock on.

Oh, does anyone know how to place bets? Doesn't say in FAQ.

EDIT THE THIRD:

Both Spritz and Schlag won their second match, but I forgot to get a weapon for Funkenbrandwunde, so unfortunately, he got whupped. His opponent was at 2% energy, though, so he put up a damn good fight.

DPDarkPrimus · Post by **DPDarkPrimus** » 2003-07-11 03:04am

Idea: Why don't all us SD.net people playing as Decepticons use the same User Group Name? Maybe "Imperial Squadron"?

EDIT: My profile- http://seibertron.com/members/profile.php?id=5718

Post by **Ghost Rider** » 2003-07-11 10:12am

They actually don't let you use the same group name, I think Clans will solve that(tried it DP...won't allow it)

So far found out Skill(which gives much nastier Swords) and Strafe are outlandish combos.

DPDarkPrimus · Post by **DPDarkPrimus** » 2003-07-11 02:19pm

Coobots. I can't wait until I get enough exp to get some stats.

Just sent two of my guys on a mission, and the other to the arena.

Post by **Ghost Rider** » 2003-07-11 02:44pm

And can't place bets...the head game guy has yet to take it out, but never went through with it.

So far my only complaint is that seriously guns are okay, but swords at higher levels are not only insane...but Transformations of Strafe or Ram absolutely rule.

Avoid is rather eh...and Repair needs a bit more tweaking(needs to give out much more XP if ONLY mission based).

I have to admit I find this rather hilarious.

Seriously...seeing my namesake on another board getting his butt kicked...and yes Dan Ketch has whupped Ghost Rider's butt before

(though given how many times I've been in the Arena doesn't go back far enough)

DPDarkPrimus · Post by **DPDarkPrimus** » 2003-07-11 03:41pm

So, can you challange a specific TF on HMW to a duel? That would be cool...

Hmm, anyways... which stat boosts up my tactics?

EDIT: Oh yeah, how my TFs did... well, Spritz totally owned those Autobrats in one mission, but Schlag got gangbanged. They're both in the CR Chambers right now, but Funky is waiting now for a battle... three in a row. his favor, if all goes well.

Post by **Ghost Rider** » 2003-07-11 03:49pm

No challenges as of yet.

And for boosting Tactics...haven't seen any stat(supposedly intelligence does it...but the day I spent doing that wasted it pretty much)

It looks that just simply boosting your tactic works best, and earn a good deal more experience.

Crayz9000 · Post by **Crayz9000** » 2003-07-11 03:58pm

They haven't actually added the intelligence enhancement as of now.
